Let A=(a,0),B=(0,b)

Equation of circumcircle of ΔOAB is (xa)x+y(yb)=0x2+y2axby=0

Equation of tangent at  (0,0) is 0+0a2(x+0)b2(y+0)=0ax+by=0 

m = perpendicular distance from A to the tangent

n= perpendicular distance from B to the tangent =b2a2+b2

m+n==a2a2+b2+b2a2+b2=a2+b2=AB.  circle =AB=m+n
